1. A method, comprising:

  • sensing a physiological parameter;

    using an implantable medical device, delivering neural stimulation that is effective in changing the sensed physiological parameter; and

    using a programmed algorithm in the implantable medical device and using a programmed target value, a programmed period of time and sensed parameter values as inputs to the programmed algorithm, adjusting an intensity of the neural stimulation during the period of time to progressively change the sensed physiological parameter toward the programmed target value during the programmed period of time to reach the programmed target value after the programmed period of time.
